I've actually seen this scene, they had it playing as a preview before Star Trek (Because apparently sci fi fans are the target market for FF6...)

The scene is ridiculous, they have to somehow film this Chieftain slogging along at sub 35mph with an old engine and all this add on rubbish weighing it down alongside 100mph cars and make it look like the tank can keep up. It's hilariously inept at doing this, not to mention stupid in how it apparently "chews" cars rather than simply crushes them. Although I admit there is one epic shot of the Chief just obliterating 2-3 cars in its way with either track. Scene's worth watching (Just the scene!) for that shot alone. Ol'Chieftain may have been an unreliable and clumsy but she could still shift those 60 tons in torque when she needed to!

The scene ends with them attaching a rope to it, then throwing the grapple hook on the other end off the bridge. It catches a strut on the bridge.

This apparently causes the tank to completely flip over on its front. I could genuinelly hear people groaning in the cinema. My father (a big tank nut) and I just sort of sighed with a sad glance. Totalling a surviving Chieftain to make this drek...it's a disgrace.

The hilarious thing is that this isn't even the most ridiculous tank scene in a hollywood movie: Anyone remeber back then in the A-Team reboot the Abrams on chutes, after losing some of the chutes (!) correcting a fall with a shot fired. After seeing that this race tank seems normal ;)

That's not an Abrams, it's the cancelled M8 AGS light tank, with the 105 gun.

Yeah I saw that one. Absolutely insane and ridiculous in the extremes. At least it was knowingly played for laughs though. :p

Loved my elephant gun, had a chance to fire one in 2006 not long before I got out (last fired one in 1991 when I got my LSW to replace my LMG/Bren).

The REME I was attached to could not believe the recoil of it lol (had a tech Sgt refuse to fire it), it seemed so long as well after handling the SA80 for 14 years.

LOL calling them techs has made them soft.
having others that were techs, gave them no end of things to bitch about.
just as well the gut didnt shoot an slr set to the min gas setting or god forbid.... a .303 that even cadets would shoot

good old lmg, very easy to double tap, or even single shot... +a fcuk sight more reliable than lsw.
think the lsws werent shot enough to loosen them up.
